Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need to change how I work inside Solid Edge?
No. Engineers continue working in Solid Edge as usual—creating parts, assemblies, and drawings. Nora IPLM works in the background to capture, version, and synchronize data automatically without disrupting existing design workflows.
What software or tools are required for the integration?
The integration requires the Nora IPLM Desktop Services application installed on the workstation where Solid Edge is running. Once connected to your Nora IPLM account, it enables data synchronization between Solid Edge and the PLM platform.
Can non-CAD users view Solid Edge models in Nora IPLM?
Yes. Nora IPLM can generate neutral and lightweight formats such as PDF, 3D PDF, STEP, and IGES, allowing non-CAD users to review and collaborate on designs without needing Solid Edge installed.
Does Nora IPLM support revision and version control for Solid Edge data?
Yes. Design changes can be versioned and traced in Nora IPLM so teams can maintain a controlled history and work with the correct product data.
